Good day!! GALAXY UNPACKED this Wednesday... 

Just wanna know which one do you prefer for daily use??? The flip or the fold?? 

Its been years since they release the foldable phones and i didn't have one yet, and i guess its time for me to get one this time... 

What about you? Are you using the fold or the flip?

Just wanna know your insights... thanks...

If I were you, I'd wait for a few months after the Flip / Fold 5 devices have been released. See if there are some continuing issues with hinges, and particularly screen protectors.. but that's just me 🙂

My gf has the fold and it's decent. But I dunno I'm still loving the S series (s23U)

Thanks for the input... i hope the functionality of the fold will be in par of the S Series..

I have the Flip4, and I am very happy with my phone! As a daily driver, it's been excellent. I also watched some tiktoks on how to get better pictures with it, as that is the only slight weak point.

What do you want to use it for? Do you want a normal phone in a compact form? Or do you want to have a tablet with you at all times?

As someone who has had all the folds, I can say that after a while, I've always gotten tired of the form and weight. It's fun to use for sure and has its unique use cases. But personally, I always found myself wanting to go back to a regular phone. I find that nowadays, phone screen are big enough like the S23 Ultra for example. And if I really did need a bigger screen, I'd simply use my tablet.

Having said that, I think I'd want to try out the flip this time around as a daily driver. More compact and easier to carry.

That's my personal experience though. But knowing me, I'd probably still get the fold 5 to test it 🤣

Never had an issue with the hinges and/or screen, but they did change the hinge mechanism this time around so who knows.

I've also been eyeing the foldable from other brands like Honor Magic V2, Motorola Razr+ or waiting for the One Plus Fold but it stresses me out for the warranty if I have to export a foldable internationally.

I just love tech and love to test out new devices lol.

But either way, you can't go wrong with any of the devices as they are both solid devices. Just for different crowds. If you love photography though, I'd say the fold as the flip is pretty weak in that department.

Thanks deeezzyyy.. yup i saw your posts on foldables before.. i wanna experience having it at the same time i want the one that will last long..i would consider everything you said about your experience with it... the flip 5 leaks looks promising but hoping that the fold 5 has something different to offer..
